The default behavior is well documented already in git-config(1), but
git-push(1) itself did not mention it at all. For users willing to learn
how "git push" works but not how to configure it, this makes the
documentation cumbersome to read.
Make the git-push(1) page self-contained by adding a short summary of
what 'push.default=simple' does, early in the page.

The usual pattern for an argv array is to initialize it,
push in some strings, and then clear it when done. Very
occasionally, though, we must do other exotic things with
the memory, like freeing the list but keeping the strings.
Let's provide a detach function so that callers can make use
of our API to build up the array, and then take ownership of
it.

"git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix
possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a
worktree to different places without telling Git (the original
repository needs to maintain backpointers to its worktrees, but
"mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact will
obviously not adjust them), which actually made things worse
when triggered.

The latter half of this sentence, the removal of the submodules, was
never done with (or without) double -f back when it was written, and
we still do not do so.

Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11),
git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e.,
when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo"
instead of just "foo". This is both:
- pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only
refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in
"refs/tags".
and
- ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line
"foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new
output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or
"refs/tags/tags/foo".
The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched
git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output
formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more
general code does not know that we care only about tags, and
uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need
to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it
should shorten with respect to that value.
In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us
passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications
there:
1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting
code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let
alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct.
2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the
user. If we follow this path, it will mean that
"%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus
"for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"),
which can lead to confusion.
Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting
language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix
components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the
same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or
"for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same
consistent meaning in all places.
We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails
without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for
"git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is
likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting
code, the test helps defend against future regressions.

The current update_linked_gitdir() has a bug that can create "gitdir"
file in non-multi-worktree setup. Worse, sometimes it can write relative
path to "gitdir" file, which will not work (e.g. "git worktree list"
will display the worktree's location incorrectly)
Instead of fixing this, we step back a bit. The original design was
probably not well thought out. For now, if the user manually moves a
worktree, they have to fix up "gitdir" file manually or the worktree
will get pruned.

The original wording sounded as if --depth could only be used to deepen or
shorten the history of existing repos. However, that is not the case. In a
workflow like
$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/git/git.git
$ git fetch --depth=1
The newly initialized repo is properly created as a shallow repo.

It is not wrong to talk about "revisions" here, but in this context
revisions are always commits, and that is how we already name it in the
git-fetch docs. So align the docs by always referring to "commits".

This reverts commit 57534ee77d22e725d971ee89c77dc6aad61c573f. The
feature added in that commit requires that patterns behave the same way
from anywhere. But some patterns can behave differently depending on
current "working" directory. The conditions to catch and avoid these
patterns are too loose. The untracked listing[1] and sparse-checkout
selection[2] can become incorrect as a result.

Modify various document (man page) files to explain
in more detail what --signoff means.
This was inspired by https://lwn.net/Articles/669976/ where
paulj noted, "adding [the] '-s' argument to [a] git commit
doesn't really mean you have even heard of the DCO...".
Extending git's documentation will make it easier to argue
that developers understood --signoff when they use it.

In the section on "How to check out a different version of a
project" the "new" branch is used as a temporary branch. A detached
HEAD was not used since it was a new feature introduced just a
couple weeks prior.
The section could be changed to use and explain a detached HEAD,
except that would increase the learning curve early in the manual.
Detached HEADs are discussed a couple sections later under
"Examining an old version without creating a new branch".
Let's declare that it is a bad idea to rewrite the example that
uses a temporary branch to do the sightseeing on a detached HEAD.

Oftentimes, patches created by git format-patch will be stored in
version control or compared with diff. In these cases, two otherwise
identical patches can have different commit hashes, leading to diff
noise. Teach git format-patch a --zero-commit option that instead
produces an all-zero hash to avoid this diff noise.
